UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT HARLAN HATCHER, retiring this
year after 16 years in office, drew parallels with the administra-
tion of his predecessor 100 years ago in speaking before the Wash-
ington alumni club's annual dinner last night.
Henry Philip Tappan, who became the University's president
in 1852, advocated the "rather controversial idea," said President
Hatcher, "that a university professor should engage in research
as well as teaching. The matter still is under discussion in some
quarters in 1967."
The Tappan administration was having trouble obtaining
funds from the state legislature, said President ,Hatcher. "then
as now."
Current criticism about speakers and subjects discussed on
the campus may be traced to the Tappan period, Dr. Hatcher
said, when "speakers of national prominence began appearing
in Armn Arbor under the auspices of the Students Lecture Associa-
tion." Subjects being discussed at the University in the mid-
1850s, Dr. Hatcher related, were "shockers such as 'Do Brutes
Reason?' and 'Do Benefits of Novel Reading Compensate for Its
Injuries?' and 'Should Students Form Matrimonial Engagements
While in College?'"
The community considered the University "godless" and
"morally corrupt" and President Tappan, charged by a newspaper
with being "un-American," had to defend the students before the
Regents.
For all the difficulties of the Tappan administration, Presi-
dent Tappan was described by a successor, several decades later,
as "the largest figure of a man that ever appeared on the Mich-
igan campus." Tappan is credited with setting the University on
an academic course which earned for the irnstitution the accolade
"mother of state universities."

THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT VOTE may have been the de-
ciding factor in Monday's third ward city council primary elec-
tion, according to Tom Van Lente, '67, chairman of 'the Student
Housing Association.
Van Lente state yesterday that the voter registration com-
mittee of his organization registered five hundred students in the
third ward for the primary election. The committee contacted
these students three times on election day, and apparently most
of them voted. Van Lente feels that the turnout of nearly 20 per
cent of the third ward's registered voters, which was over twice
as large as the 1964 turnout, was a result of the student vote.
The voter registration committee, headed by Michael Koeneke,
'69, hopes to register a larger number of students for the city
election to be held in April. The goal of the committee is to
register 600 students in the second ward and 200 additional
in the third ward.

Prof. Abraham Kaplan of the

Bradford Perkins of the history
department, both membersefen
Cinema Guild, had suggested thaat
such a move would be the best
way to reach all the people who
believed that Cinema Guild was
interested in provoking "crisis and
confrontation with authority."
According to Kaplan, "Cinema
Guild is in a situation in which it
is fighting for its life."
"Many people are strongly hos-
tile to you because they think you
are shiowing these fim icnr a e
tation with the administration the
faculty and the police."
Kaplan and Perkins agreed that
suspension of the Warhol films
while legal action was in progress
would appear as a mark of Cine-
ma Guild's good faith to the com-
mnt.
.Kaplan said, "unless something
is done to prevent Cinema Guild
from being used by extremists on
both sides, I have grave doubts
about your future existance."
S"I don't know two faculty mem-
bers in mny department who will
stand oni your side of the fence
unless some action is taken," Per-
kins added.
Cinema Guild board member
Andrew Lugg, speaking in defense
of the defeat of the Kaplan, Per-
kins suggestion said, "If -we are
interested in a living, experimental
cinema we are going to run into
trouble, and we are going. to be
disbanded. We have a responsi-
bility to the students on this cain-
pus to show the best film possible."
